Clint Schumacher’s Eminent Domain podcast is one of those things that we almost shouldn’t post about. After all, every episode is worth your time. But this one is especially good. After all, it features our law firm colleague and friend Jon Houghton, discussing what you all know is one of our fave topics, regulatory

One last reminder that there’ still time to register for the upcoming Brigham-Kanner Property Rights Conference at the William and Mary Law School in Williamsburg, Virginia, September 29-30, 2022. If you can’t make it to the historic campus, there’s an option to attend remotely.

CA5: “But there’s a big difference between saying that something is property for purposes of procedural due process and saying that it is property for purposes of the Takings Clause”
In Hignell-Stark v. City of New Orleans, No. 21-30643 (Aug. 22, 2022), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, like a lot of other courts, reached an unsurprising conclusion: New Orleans’ restrictions on short-term rental of residential properties isn’t a taking. But there are parts of the opinion that are definitely
NC: Generally-Applicable Impact Fee Is Subject To Nollan/Dolan/Koontz
We recommend you review the North Carolina Supreme Court’s opinion in Anderson Creek Partners, L.P. v. County of Harnett, No. 63PA21-1 (Aug. 19, 2022). It’s long (70 page majority, plus 19 pages of concurring and dissenting opinions), but worth your time because the majority concludes that legislatively-imposed fees, applicable to all, are “exactions” that

Penn Central May Be A “Fuzzy” Test, But What Is A Court Doing Weighing The Factors?
You’ll definitely want to check out the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s opinion in Makrilov v. City of Jersey City, No. 21-1786 (Aug. 16, 2022).
Not because it reaches any earth-shattering conclusions — the opinion unsurprisingly concluded that the city’s restricting (but not eliminating) short-term rentals (less than thirty days) was
CA2: Land Use Challenge (Not Takings) Is Ripe – Govt Gave Its Final “No”
Check out the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit’s opinion in Village Green of Sayville, LLC v. Town of Islip, No. 19-3353 (Aug. 5, 2022), a case in which the court held the Town reached a final decision denying Village Green’s request to develop a 64-unit apartment complex on Long Island.

Ye Olde Law 608: Eminent Domain & Property Rights, S5E1 @ William & Mary Law
Is there a more appropriate place at which to study property rights and dirt law than William and Mary Law School? After all, it is a stone’s throw from Jamestown, the place where there’s a good argument the concept of property law and property rights first took hold in the New World. As
IRWA’s Summary Of Major Eminent Domain Cases & Legislation (Jan-May 2022)
The International Right of Way Association‘s Real Estate Law Committee produces twice-a-year reports “which contain summaries of eminent domain decisions and legislation within the United States.”
